There was a report on the BBC Breakfast programme today about the threat of rising sea levels to historic castles on our coast. The BBC bleated that these castles, which had protected Britain’s coasts for hundreds of years, were now being destroyed by rising sea levels due to climate change. The BBC claimed that “scientists have predicted that sea levels could rise by a metre by the end of this century”.
This reminded me of a BBC documentary, Earth Under Water made by the BBC in 2010. In this documentary the BBC presented two scenarios – a two metre sea-level rise by 2100 and a five metre sea-level rise by 2200. Using these two ‘scenarios’, the BBC showed the terrifying consequences for coastal cities and low-lying land from these predicted sea-level rises.
I guess the one positive one can take from the two programmes is that the BBC has reduced its prediction of sea-level rise by 2100 from two metres to a mere one metre.
But let’s test whether a sea-level rise of two metres or even one metre by 2100 is credible.
Here’s a table of sea-level rises from 1880 to 1980.
Notice at least two things:
- The sea-level is rising somewhere between 10cm and 12cm per hundred years. We have just 78 years till the year 2100. Yet at the current rate, it would take about 1,000 years for the sea level to rise by one metre and around 2,000 years for the sea level to rise by two metres. So the idea that the sea level could rise by one metre (or even two metres) in the next 78 years is complete nonsense.
- The sea level is rising by different rates at different locations and is even apparently falling by 37cm per century around Scandinavia.
It’s a pity that nobody at the BBC has read my book There is No Climate Crisis. If they had, they would know what’s really happening and stop making their wildly exaggerated, nonsensical claims of impending climate catastrophe. Here’s just a small excerpt from my book about supposed rising sea levels:
The changes, or more accurately apparent changes, in sea levels are also partly due to factors like Tectonic Plate Movement, Glacial Isostatic Adjustment, Post-Glacial Rebound and subsidence due to water abstraction around major cities. Tectonic Plate Movement is, of course, the continual movement of the Earth’s tectonic plates, which give us earthquakes and tsunamis. Glacial Isostatic Adjustment has been going on for at least two million years. Massive glaciers grow and then melt, alternately depressing the Earth’s crust and then releasing it again. As we are now in an interglacial, which has led to melting ice, Scandinavia is slowly rising. Hence, the sea level at Stockholm appears to be falling.
The Post-Glacial Rebound, which is causing much of the East Coast of North America to sink, occurs because large areas of Canada and America were weighed down by massive ice sheets in the last Ice Age. When that ice melted between 26,500 and 7,000 years ago, land in the centre of the North American began to rise while land around the periphery sank in what has been described as a “sort of sea-saw effect”. Hence sea levels at the East Coast of America seem to be rising faster than in many other areas of the world. Meanwhile in California on the U.S. West Coast, around 8 million of the state’s 40 million inhabitants are believed to live in areas where the land is subsiding probably partly due to Tectonic Movements and partly due to subsidence caused by increased water abstraction.
Looking at the table above one of the largest apparent sea level increases has been 30cm in 100 years at the East Coast of North America where the land has been sinking due to Post-Glacial Rebound. The sea level for Scandinavia has apparently ‘dropped’ by 37cm in 100 years as the land has risen due to Glacial Isostatic rebound. A National Land Survey of Finland study completed in early 2021 calculated that the South Coast of Sweden was rising by at least 1mm a year, further north the uplift was 2mm to 3mm a year and in central Finland the land uplift might be as much as 8mm to 9mm a year.
Jakarta is thought to be subsiding by 25 cm a year largely because of groundwater extraction. Houston is sinking as the oil wells beneath it are depleted. Bangkok’s and Shanghai’s skyscrapers are weighing the two cities down. London is slowly sinking partly due to water abstraction and partly due to Post-Glacial Rebound which is causing Scotland to slowly rise, like Sweden and Finland, after having been weighed down by glaciers during the last ice age.
A report by scientists in 2019 suggested that the real sea level rise due purely to thermal expansion caused by global warming was just 0.7mm a year: “Sea level rise by thermal expansion is likely less than 0.7mm/year… Subsidence is the main contributor of sea level rise in many areas of the world.”
Here, to finish, is a simple chart comparing rising sea levels with rising levels of atmospheric CO2, where the lack of relationship between the two is clear.

“U.S. and European regulators caution, however, that both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines appear linked to a rare reaction in teenagers and young adults — chest pain and heart inflammation.”
This particular reaction might be “rare” but if you add all the rare reactions together the answer you come to is THESE VACCINES AREN’T SAFE, DON’T WORK AND SHOULD BE WITHDRAWN ENTIRELY.
If you look at the Yellow Card reporting of deaths shortly after vaccination you will find that 1 person dead in every 28,938 people vaccinated, and adverse effects are being reported at a rate of 1 report in every 132 people vaccinated.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-vaccine-adverse-reactions/coronavirus-vaccine-summary-of-yellow-card-reporting
This is a scandal and yet… with the exception of a few Scandinavian public health bodies, nothing changes and the media is silent.
“rare” is the MSM-speak term for not quite 100%
Unfortunately those stats have become irrelevant because the rules have been completely changed.
Before, even very very low levels of damage would trigger the suspension of a drug of vaccine. The expectation was that vaccines and drugs had to be virtually 100% safe.
Now, jab side effects need only be less damaging than the damage from covid to be justified. Most people shrug at the risks of this jab and consider them absolutely justifiable because they think covid is far more dangerous.
To make matters worse they have an exaggerated sense of the risk of covid, so many end up thinking it’s less risky than the jab when we all know that for many age groups it’s the opposite. But that is beside the point. The fundamental shift is we no longer demand that our drugs and vaccines are virtually 100% safe, just safer than the perceived risk of the disease.
We need to change that perception back.
That is going to be an uphill struggle. Well known that reversing brainwashing is incredibly difficult and people struggle to admit they were wrong.
You won’t reason someone out of something they weren’t reasoned into.
Not sure who said that or when, but they were right then and they are still right today.
Wise words… sadly not enough wise words or common sense around at the moment. I made the mistake of mentioning to a group of friends that deaths in teenagers had doubled since the vaccine was introduced and maybe there might be a link – cure worse than the disease. You’d have thought I’d pee’d on the Queen’s statue considering the response I got.
I think that your experience is not untypical. I use the litmus of talking to those who are pretty sceptical in many ways, but balk at the final step of seeing the whole thing as a total scam.
They cannot believe that such dishonesty exists.
40% of the population is too far gone and cannot be talked back with evidence and data.
20% of us are sceptical.
It’s the remaining 40% we need to work on. Using humour, asking questions, planting seeds of doubt. Every second of every minute of every day.
People go mad in crowds but recover their sanity one by one.
Yeah, maybe by starting with: “It’s awful that the Government has not been straight with us from the start,” rather than “Unfortunately everything you believe is wrong or some variant on that. Much as one wants to shake them till their teeth rattle.
Yes. Simply shouting won’t do it, especially from a sound-proofed room.
This is absolutely the nail on the head Stewart. The psyops has convinced many that Covid is basically a death sentence, even for young people. Therefore I think many people reason that seeing as it’s unlikely that the jab will kill them, it must be a better option. When I had Covid a few months back and told people that I’d had it, their reaction was as if I was telling them I had cancer or a brain tumour or something.
my experience is that when I tell people I had covid they don’t believe me because I “was never in hospital” ie hospitalised it has to have been covid, but not hospitalised it couldn’t have been
Same here. I carry a copy of my positive antibody test around with me, because when I go on to explain why I now have natural immunity, they tend to glaze over. Because they’ve not seen anything in the papers or on the telly about it they seem unable to process what I’m telling them – had it – can’t get it again – can’t give it to anyone else.
My brother (who’s also had it) is recieving calls from his surgery accusing him of being irresponsible and a danger to others because he refuses the jab. I advised him to speak to a solicitor abour ‘coersion’ as it’s illegal.
Having had so many hideous reactions to so many prescription medicines I have been issued with over the years I now have a very healthy scepticism about ANYTHING produced by big pharma – to the point where I would always be looking for a natural alternative – and this whole fiasco has just heightened my concerns about the safety of anything they produce – because they operate on the policy of having another drug to counteract the unpleasant side effects of the first drug, as opposed to the natural alternative which is invariably not only completely safe and side effect free but actually treats the ailment in question as opposed to merely tamping down symptoms which seems to be the big pharma approach.
I wouldn’t get too excited. In due course they’ll conclude it’s fine and resume. And they’ll use it to “prove” that they are safe and that the authorities are taking the side effects seriously, which we all know they aren’t really. But they have the megaphone…
If it was most other countries I would agree with you, but this is Sweden which has shown a lot of sense so far (although admittedly vaccines have been their weak spot up until now).
Getting accurate information out of teenagers is notoriously difficult, they have inherent skills related to “conduct after capture”. However, young Eagle reports that many classmates have had one or two days off after the injection of the operating system upgrade. These kids have all been summonsed or taken to their GP for “their jab”. Small class sizes, so aftereffects significant to warrant a couple of days off school constitute a large proportion of those jabbed.
The BBC are already running interference for Big Pharma. They did a piece on how heart conditions in young people are not that unusual LMFAO.
The BBC is fucking disgusting, there are literally no depths to which they won’t stoop.
All part of the BBC’s “Trusted News Initiative”
Reading this “gies me the dry boak” or for the non Scots, makes we want to vomit.

Yes
https://www.bbc.co.uk/contact/ecu/chiles-on-friday-radio-5-live-1-january-2021
Yeah. I mean, most sunday morning football matches have ALWAYS had at least one cardiac related collapse, it’s always been true. It must be true, the BBC says so.
… but it’s why I’m wary of extreme adverse reactions as an indicator – they are too rare to provide clear statistical information.
I spotted this on the BBC this morning…
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-58170809
It is an appalling hit job on Ivermectin.
It has now seemingly been disappeared so no one can find it. It is full of lies and may have been pulled because it attempted to link to the fake ivermectin deaths in the US. Quite disgraceful.
Absolutely – I saw it too – astonishingly biased piece of Government ordered propaganda – for “me” if “no-one else”, another nail in their coffin.
This is awkward for the UK, because the UK withdrew the AZ vaccine for the under 40s, due to the risk of #extremelyrare blood clots, and said they could get Moderna instead. And of course we know that Pfizer has the same issues around myocarditis and pericarditis.
But I’m sure the MHRA will say “no, no, no it’s all cushty, move along, nothing to see here”.
What a time to be alive.
>What a time to be alive
Or not
This will be why the ONS report 50%rise in teenage deaths since the vaccine was extended to include children. The Governments own data won’t stop them so don’t expect Sweden’s change will have an impact.
If you look at the age group 1-14 for which there is a long ONS death history, it appears that covid doesn’t affect this age group at all (source ONS: Deaths registered weekly in England and Wales, provisional: week ending 24 September 2021). Time will tell if any increase in all cause mortality following vaccination occurs in this age group bearing in mind most of this age group is too young to have been experimentally vaccinated.
The next age group up for which there is long term data available is 15-44 so that doesn’t give us many clues pre 2020.
See this chart I’ve produced which on the left shows weekly all cause deaths in the 1-14 age group and on the right cumulative all cause deaths in this age group over the calendar year.
Notice the absence of any obvious peak at all in all cause deaths in Spring 2020 or Winter 2020/2021 and that the number of all cause deaths in this age group during 2020 or year 2021 to date is lower than in the preceeding years.
And this is despite the number of people in England and Wales in the age 1-14 age group being 9.1 million in mid-2010 and 10.1 million in mid-2020. Increasing numbers in this age group would mean other things being equal more expected deaths in 2020 than in 2010 etc.
It’s often said that covid roughly affects different age groups proportionately in relation to their chances of dying from other causes. But this chart indicates this may not be true for the 1-14 age group. On the surface given all cause deaths are lower in the age 1-14 age group than previous years, then the starting assumption should be that all covid deaths in this age group are other deaths that would have occurred anyway that have been misallocated as covid.
It would be interesting if ONS were to respectively split their all cause registered weekly deaths into the same groups they’ve been using since the beginning of 2020, 1-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44 etc and apply this back to say 2010 as it would show if and when vaccination or covid potentially increased deaths in these age groups.
Interesting work.
“It would be interesting if ONS were to respectively split their all cause registered weekly deaths into the same groups they’ve been using since the beginning of 2020, 1-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44 etc and apply this back to say 2010 as it would show if and when vaccination or covid potentially increased deaths in these age groups.”
I noticed this early 2020.
It makes comparisons with previous years difficult and was, to me, the first hint that there was more to this ‘pandemic’ than meets the eye.
On top of this, Covid deaths exceed excess deaths which means that deaths from other causes are fewer than normal. How come?
The Moderna ‘vaccine’ contains three times the amount of LNP containing mRNA that the Pfizer jab does.
Why is anyone surprised that it causes more ‘events’?
No one who is paying attention is surprised, and the rest don’t give a shit.
Is it too early to deduce that those reading the Inde and the Guardian (and the Sun and the Mail on line) will be suffering a higher level of heart events?
If they are, they will be quite sure that it’s not related to the vaccine…
I sometimes feel that the focus on serious, reported adverse events – although important as a significant canary down the mine – takes focus away from the key issues around the snake oil.
… because the jabberwocky advocates are correct in pointing out that these events are, still, of a low probability.
It strikes me that the focus diverts away from the fundamental issues :
Bluntly – immediate headline-grabbing safety issues apart, there is absolutely no case for the jabberwokery, and that does not fundamentally hinge on the VAERS/Yellow Card data.
And determined coercion – I’m sure that, like me, many of you on here have been bombarded with vaccine “offers” from NHS England. My data protection complaint about this (that this level of coercion was a misuse of personal data) was of course rejected by them. I then put in a complaint to the ICO – awaiting a response, but not hopeful as I expect they’ve been told to reject any such complaints.
Your point is an interesting one – because I haven’t been bombarded, following one telephone approach right at the beginning, wher no persuasion was used, and the conversation ended when I said I would evaluate when the ‘vaccine’ was not an experiment. The chuckle at the other end suggested that my correspondent understood perfectly that I knew what the issues were and that it was pointless trying any persuasion.
Gosh, you don’t say.
I expect Bozo will want to snap up those not being used in Sweden, so he’s got plenty to bugger-up our under 30s with…
Three cheers for the Swedes. At least they have acted rationally throughout this debacle and have ignored its hysterical Northern European neighbours e.g. the UK.
The risk curves cross each other at about 30. Whatever the risk of the vaccine is (even if we take best case numbers) it isn’t less until you hit the age 30 grouping. Jabbing under 30s is not needed, but it is both profitable (I’m a capitalist so, not anti-profit) and makes the government able to beat its chest.
As long as it is their free choice, made with knowledge of the risks, and without compulsion by exclusion from daily life, allowing 18-30s to get jabbed is fine. But we have become vaccine addicted, just as the data begins to show the vaccines are not the silver bullet hoped for.
The risk curves cross each other at about 30.
It was age 55 when i looked and Delta is a less (flu level) risky.
What?
A democratically elected government’s health authority challenging a private corporation’s instructions.
I honestly thought that wasn’t allowed to happen anymore.
Under news round up,I am horrified to see the daily sceptic referring to the absolute nonsense the BBC has put out about IVERMECTIN. Come on daily sceptic, do your homework. Ivermectin being used around the world with huge success. Merck’s new oral anti viral? Look it up. Every time it looks like things are moving forward the daily sceptic prints one piece of NONSENSE! Shame on you.
